The Queen has returned and what
have we to show for the expenditure
of how some thousand dollars? Very
little indeed. Her Majesty has been
handsomely treated by the Govern
ment of Great Britain, as was to be
expected, but what particular advan-
tage will be reaped by this country?
1t is no doubt very pleasant thing
for both sovereigns of this country to
have personal knowledge of Eu
ropean sovereigns, but it is the PEG
pie who have to pay for the expense
of travelling, and it is they who have
a right to complain if the expense in
Cured is laid out for a useless object.
The trip, of course, was one of those
unfortunate expenses which the Glib
son Government entailed upon the
country. Her Majesty was quite rich
enough to pay the expenses of her
trip, and if she desired to go to the
Jubilee, she should have paid for her
self. The whole affair was an outrage
upon the taxpayers, and the GAZETTE
enunciated that opinion when the
Queen and her party started While
our roads were in frightful condi-
ton, our outstanding debts unpaid,
we have had thousands of dollars
thrown away upon half dozen off
Gals who are all drawing handsome
salaries. Such a junketing trip is not
likely to happen again. By the way
is the report true that $4,000 had to
be borrowed by the Royal party to
bring them home?

SEVERAL weeks since, Mr.. w. J.
Forsyth, who came to these islands to
ascertain their fitness for producing
the cinchona trees, visited UIupalakua,
and procured sample of bark from
one tree growing there, which has
been analysed by Mr.. Geo. w. Smith,
with results as shown in the following
letter addressed to Hon. J. l. Dowsett,
proprietor of the above estate
HONOLULU, H. l., July q, 1887.
Hon. j. DowsETT, Honolulu.
Dear Sir: 1 beg to acknowledge receipt
from you of twenty-three pounds of cinchona
bark. selected by Mr.. w. j. Forsyth from a
tree of the variety G. Robusta, growing on
your ranch at Ulupalakua, Maui, and to APP
pend herewith the analysis of same, viz:
No. l. Total alkaloids 1880, sulphate quin-
inc, 5.632.
No. q Total alkaloids, 1852, sulphate quin-
inc, $500.
No. 3. Total alkaloids, 1852, sulphare quin-
inc, 1854.
This analysis shows even greater results
than the analysis of bark from the Cinchona
Robusta growing in Ceylon and Southern
India. take pleasure in offering to purchase
this parcel, for which will pay you seventy
i've cents per pound, this price being based
on the latest London quotations for first-class
bark. remain, Sir, yours respectfully,
GEO. w. SMITH.
OF Benson Smith & Co."
These trees were planted some
twelve years ago by the late Captain
Makee, and consequently, being of
mature age will yield a large and val
liable product Mr.. Smith estimates
SIT per tree, on the above analysis,
but as an average estimate for plant
alton of cinchona $40 to S12 per tree
is safer. From 1000 to 1,500 trees
may be grown on an acre, and seven
years growth is required to bring them
to maturity. The prospective value of
an acre of these trees at the end of ten
years would thus be ten to twenty
thousand dollars when marketed.
1t is said that Mr.. Purvis has now
growing on his plantation at Kukui-
haele, on Hawaii, about fifteen thou
sand trees, two, three and four years
old. Seven years is long time to wait
for harvest returns, but when once
they commence, the yield continues
from year to year. There are thou
sands of acres on each of these isl
ands adapted to the cinchona tree

belt on the highlands of Hawaii,
through Kona, Kau, HiIo and Hama

to strip off the bark, suckers spring
from the roots and grow rapidly, in.

by similar action on the part Of the
House, and the Congressional usurpa-
ton which began in a spoils fight will
end at q time when, under the admins
traton of another party, successful
effort to make the civil service some-
thing more than party machine is in
progress. 1t will doubtless be urged in
certain quarters that the willingness Of
some Republicans to support the re-
peal grows out of q hope that in two
years they will control the White
House, and it may then be handy to
have the President unfettered in the
matter of ofiice-giving. When Mr..
Lincoln was inauguratcd it took him
about sixty days to clean out every
Democratic oflice-holdcr in the coun-
try. This great achievement could not
be repeated with. the Tenure-of-Office
act on the books. But fairer men will
give the Republicans who supported
the repeal of vicious law the
credit for doing so on conviction
without reference to the party con
sequences. The action taken is one
over which all good citizens may
congratulate themselves, as it is steI
backward toward that system Of con
stitutional government which was sad
ly disarranged in the days Of war ane

the Bruder strassc," when, one evening as
Lampert came In from the tavern where
he drank beer with few boon compan-
ions, aa he opened his house door he saw
something that made him start back and
utter cry of horror Before him was his
wifes body, hanging from a crook in tho
ceiling
Almost before he had recovered himself
and had the courage to cut her down, the
examining magistrate and policeman
arrived. The former had received letter
from Madame Lampert, in which she con-
fcssed that Marie had died innocent, and
that she had surreptitiously taken tho
money while assisting her husband in
counting 1t. AS she counted she had
slipped some Of the coins up her sleeve
He was going on the morrow to Lepsio
fair, and she had boon given sum Of
money which was only adequate to meet
the ordinary household expenses. This
had annoyed and disappointed her. If her
husband went to Leipsc he would enjoy
himself there, go to the theater, drink
wines, dine we'll, while she was drudging
at home. The temptation took her to pus.
loin few pieces 6f money whcrewith she
hoped to give herself and her daughter
some amusement during her husbands abb
sence. He had at once discovered the
loss, and afraid of his temper she had not
dared to confess what she had done but
had slipped one Of the ducats
into the servant girls pocket. Aft
erward, when Marie was in prison
and under investi cation, she had
been too frightened to confess tho truth,
lest she should have been imprisoned in
the place Of Marie, and have been SEN
fenced to the gallows. Thus she had seen
the unfortunate and guiltless victim of her
crime die under her eyes, and she had
been ever since haunted by the sight and
tortured by the sting Of her conscience
This letter she sent to the examining judge
by servant, and at once she proceeded to
hang herself close to the doorway opposite
which Marie had been hung. When she
was cut down she was quite dead. For
many years after the people Of Berlin
pointed to Lampert's house and spoke OF
the judicial murder in the Bruder strasse.

EARLY CONVENT LIFE.

The Six Functions Laid Down by the Abe-
lard Code In the Eleventh Century.
According to the code of Abelard the
convent was divided into six functions,
all alike subject to the direction of the
Abbess. The sacristan was RESPONSE
BILE for the convent treasury; she kept
the keys, and had the care of the church
plate and sacred vessels; and it was her
duty to set the virgin sisters to prepare
the waters for the Host, which must not
be made by widows. The chantress
taught singing and reading, had care of
the choir and of the library, to which,
she was expected to add by copying and.
illuminating manuscripts. The head Of
the intirmary had charge of the sick,
Another sister was mistress of the ward
robe, and responsible not only for all
the spinning, weaving and sewing nee
essary for the convent, but also for
the tanning and cobbling. The
cellarer had in her charge
the wines for the altar and the sick, the
provisioning of the table, and the man
agement of whatever the convent pos
sessed in orchards and garden land,
flocks and herds and hives, trout
streams and mills. Lastly, the door
keeper, who was especially chosen for
courteous manners, judgment and trust
worthiness, was responsible for the keep
ing of the gate, the entertainment Of
guests and the distribution of hospital
ity. Life in the convent was not hard,
but monOtonous, eventless beyond
description-a perpetual alienation Of
broken sleep, repeated tasks and prayer
In the middle of the night the sisters
rose for mathis, and the Office over,
trooped back through the darkness to
the dormitory. There they slept till
lauds, which were sung Mt the break of
day. In summer, when lauds were
early, the sisters slept again till prime.
Atprime they left the dormitory. having
first washed their hands, and TAX
ing their books repaired to
the cloister to read and sing
until the office should begin. Service
over, they all assembled in the chapter
house, where a lesson out of the Mar
tyrology was read to them and ex-
pounded. On leaving the chapter each
nun was sent to fulfil her allotted task
singing or sewing, nursing or baking
until the hour of Tierce, when mass
was said. They then resumed their
work till noon, the sixth hour, which
was the convent dinner time, except on
fast days, when it was postponed till
nones, OF in Lent, when nothing was
eaten till after vespers at four. Tho
convent fare was simple and spare.
Save for the sick, no wine; stale bread
of coarse flour; roots and greens, and.
at discretion of the Abbess, portion OF
unfavored meat on Tuesdays, Thurs
days and Sundays. From the autumn
equinox till Easter, on account of the
shortness of the days, this one meal was
considered sufficient for all save the iar
tirmL-Fortnightty Review.
